Kicking the Seat and Pat McDonald wish you the Merriest of Christmases with one of our favorite traditions: a "There's No Stalgia Like Nostalgia" look at an offbeat holiday movie!Today we're talking the 2003 anime from co-directors Satoshi Kon and Keiko Nobumoto, Tokyo Godfathers! This fast-paced dramedy centers on three homeless people who discover an infant child who's been discarded in the trash on Christmas Eve. Through a series of crazy adventures, they spend a week traversing the Tokyo underworld in an effort to reunite the child with its birth parents--navigating violent teen hooligans, mob vengeance, and the ghosts of the three "godfathers'" respective pasts.In this celebratory episode, Ian and Pat share their joy at this first-time viewing and dig into what makes this street-level holiday adventure worth seeking out--while also unpacking its surprising roots in a John Wayne Western!Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the full Tokyo Godfathers (2003) trailer.Keep up with Pat at HollywoodChicago.com.Listen to Pat's movie reviews on the radio at STAR 96.7.

Tokyo Godfathers, the brilliant Satoshi Kon made a holiday classic that's purely Japanese. And PURELY wholesome. It's a movie that's made talks about homelessness, forgiveness, running away, redemption and family. 

Deck the halls with boughs of... floating embers? This week, The Filmlosophers gather for a holiday episode that feels more like a fever dream than a silent night. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, attempt to navigate the dizzying spectacle of James Cameron's latest over-produced and over-complicated sci-fi epic, Avatar: Fire and Ash. The crew shares their full and genuinely confused thoughts on the volcanic "Ash People," the endless tech-specs, and whether Cameron has finally disappeared too far into his own motion-capture abyss. Before they escape the fires of Pandora, the team settles in for a cozy (and slightly heated) conversation about the unconventional Christmas films that define their holidays. While the group finds common ground on the high-rise heroics of Die Hard and the animated emotional gut-punch of Tokyo Godfathers, the festive spirit hits a speed bump when Amy takes the mic. She meticulously lays out her bizarrely passionate case for why the PTSD-fueled, explosive journey of Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 is a quintessential Christmas movie that belongs alongside Rudolph and Frosty. It's an episode full of holiday cheer, blockbuster bewilderment, and armor-plated arguments. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn and tinsel, and tune in to this week's special holiday episode of The Filmlosophers!

(00:00:00)

Tre senzatetto dai caratteri e dal passato molto diverso, trovano una neonata abbandonata fra i rifiuti, proprio la vigilia di Natale.In un viaggio rocambolesco, i tre dovranno raggiungere i genitori della piccola e chiedere loro per quale motivo abbiano preso la tragica decisione di abbandonarla. Intanto, si affezioneranno alla neonata e anche tra loro si instaurerà un rapporto sempre più forte.Una pellicola splendida, che parla di famiglia e rimpianti. Ma Satoshi Kon non manca di inserire situazioni assurde, quasi surreali ed un'ottima componente avventurosa che si segue perfettamente fino alla fine, per un film d'animazione adulto, che è diventato un mio nuovo classico natalizio e spero lo sarà anche per voi.

One of Jake's favorite movies is Perfect Blue. The director is Satoshi Kon. He also made a beloved Christmas movie about three people finding a baby in the garbage and their crazy adventures together. So he watched it and talked about it. Merry Christmas.

In this episode we continue our month of Matt with another certified classic of a movie. Tokyo Godfathers by the legendary Satoshi Kon! And with the holidays right around the corner there's no better time to review this amazing piece of animation. Enjoy!

Emilio, Julian, and Madeline wrap up their “Holiday Suggestion/Gift Box” mini-cycle with Satoshi Kon's penultimate work, “Tokyo Godfathers” (2003). Rather than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, our three hosts come bearing different personal histories with the art form of anime. They discuss the benefits and challenges of this storytelling medium, and dive into the burning questions: were the actions that ostracized our protagonists really that bad? What do the serendipitous events of this movie mean? And, of course, could this film have been made as live action?If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Set against the chaotic backdrop of Christmas in Tokyo, this unconventional holiday story follows three unlikely heroes—a homeless alcoholic, a former drag queen, and a runaway teen—on a journey of redemption, connection, and the search for a miracle. Jason delves into the film's rich themes of found family, societal marginalization, and the unexpected grace found in the most unlikely places. With a blend of personal reflection and sharp analysis, this episode unpacks how Tokyo Godfathers captures the messy, magical beauty of the season while challenging traditional notions of holiday storytelling. Plus, Jason addresses rumors concerning alleged changes coming to the last video store in the universe.

In this episode we make a deep dive into Kon Satoshi's 2003 Christmas romp (?), Tokyo Godfathers. We focus especially on the dramatic tension between what characters imagine themselves to be and the reality of who they are--and how, sometimes, reality has a weird habit of slipping into fantasy.

We're podcasters, not action movie stars! That's right, we're finally breaking the seal on one of Nick's favourite directors with our second holiday episode: Satoshi Kon's TOKYO GODFATHERS from 2003.It's probably Kon's most conventional film, but he brings in his reality-blurring style nonetheless. We're discussing John Ford's influence, society's marginalized populations, and the emotions we dip into when we're trying to mask or find love.Nick gets deep into how the realism is enhanced & broken with animation and sound design flourishes, and Erin has a Baileys update! Plus, we're speculating about what happens to these characters after the cameras stop rolling, a testament to how fully-realized these titular Godfathers are.Next time: our 2024 in review! So just watch every movie that came out this year and you'll be prepped.

Imagine uncovering the magic of Satoshi Kon's 'Tokyo Godfathers', a film where humor and heart converge in the bustling streets of Tokyo. That's exactly what we're doing in this month's edition of 'International Feature'. Together, we confront our initial doubts about older anime and celebrate the timeless charm of this 2003 classic.As we discuss this unconventional Christmas story, we unravel the intricate dynamics between three compelling characters and their miraculous journey with an unexpected child. The film weaves themes of homelessness and family estrangement into a tapestry that resonates with universal appeal. We acknowledge its emotional depth and character development and marvel at Satoshi Kon's ability to balance humor and darker themes, crafting a narrative that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. Our take on how Tokyo Godfathers compares to other holiday films adds a fresh perspective to the season's lineup.We're inviting everyone to join our growing community, with plenty of bonus content available and special perks for our Patreon supporters. With new episodes dropping every Wednesday, there's always something to look forward to.Letterbox'd Synopsis:  On Christmas Eve, three homeless people living on the streets of Tokyo discover a newborn baby among the trash and set out to find its parents.

Tis the season to discuss sad-man holiday movies and this year we're kicking things off with 2003's "Tokyo Godfathers," written and directed by Satoshi Kon.In addition to talking about this urban holiday odyssey. we also discuss: Christmas in Japan; fried turkey; the concept of God; godfathers; and too many Tom anecdotes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Traditions make the holiday season what it is. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. A treasured decoration hanging in a place of honor on the tree. The annual viewing of Stanley Kubrick's psycho-sexual thriller Eyes Wide Shut.Maybe you don't venture outside the lines quite that much, but Milwaukee Film's "Season's Screenings" holiday series sure does. In honor of the adventurous range of selections being shown at the Oriental Theatre through Jan. 1, Dori and Kpolly have a spirited conversation about what we watch around this time of year, roast a few and unwrap the ones they might not be quite as familiar with (perhaps Tangerine or Tokyo Godfathers).To see the full lineup of films, along with links to purchase tickets, go to our story on the Radio Milwaukee website.

They call them the Godfathers of Tokyo…and we call him the KING of TIKTOK (in an old man newscaster voice) - Reece Feldman joins us to chat about Satoshi Kon's beautiful Christmas fable about a trio of unforgettable characters on the fringes of society. We talk about how animation is truly a medium and NOT a genre, as evidenced by this film. We talk about Ice Age (another animated movie where outsiders care for a baby). We talk about whether or not David might get roped into watching Ice Age a million times if his daughter finds out about it. And we talk about David's pitch for a Cheaper by the Dozen spoof called “Cheaper by the Cousin”…?
